"Underground, Overground, Wombling Free,The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.Making good use of the things that we find,Things that the everyday folks leave behind.

We're so incredibly, utterly deviousMaking the most of everything.Even bottles and tins.Pick up the pieces and make them into something new,Is what we do!"

The lyrics from the first & last verse of "The Wombling Song"

Thinking of Elisabeth Beresford who passed away over the Xmas period, I thought it may be nice to pick an everyday object each month & see how many different ideas for uses we can come up with...

For May "Net Curtain/s"...

Was that net curtain the bride was wearing on her head on Friday? Our children used to have net curtain brides' veils in the dressing up box!

We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers and sisters.

Stretched over a wooden frame it makes a good fly screen for windows or doors
